Trade Review
"An easy to read and often surprising examination of the Relationships and Sexuality Education programme in Irish schools, and the fierce debate it has produced." Sunday Tribune Nov 1998 "the book is an intriguing examination of what is shaping Irish teenagers' sexuality. ...On Inglis's own admission, Lessons in Irish Sexuality does 'not resolve any of these issues', but it places the sort of questions parents will be asking in a useful and informative context." Jackie Bourke Irish Times Nov 1998 "Hooray and well done UCD Press for the provocative (but 100% accurate) title and the-shocking pink cover design" Books Ireland Nov 1998

Table of Contents
Being taught to be chaste and modest; learning to be independent and responsible; being encouraged to be sexual; radical sexuality; shaping young people's sexuality; the views of parents, teachers and pupils; putting contradictions into context.
